People being let go bc of comparing performance against peers is bs. upgrading the team? how come other rigorous fields (investment banking, medicine, Big Law, oil & gas engineering, trading firms, etc) don’t feel the need to do this, yet they have the right people the teams need every year 😂 consulting isn’t the most rigorous/difficult/or prestigious career. just say it’s for the greed of the firm, at the cost of unempathetically uprooting employees lives & at least you’ll be honest.

Two offers: (1) Director, Strategy at KPMG, $285k base, $25k sign on, 12-20% bonus range (2) Senior Director, EY-Parthenon $250k base, $50k sign on, up to 45% bonus (I’m guessing 25-35% is the norm?) Which are you taking and why?

Boy I can't wait until wifi gets so reliable that we are able to take calls from the plane. I want to be accessible 24/7! 🙃🤮

Are we in a DEI recession rn?

I’m 33 and starting to feel like I’m aging out of consulting. This is a young man’s game and I now have 3 kids and am tired. Time to plot my exit to industry 🙂.
